• Dress in layers – windbreakers or a warmer layer is usually needed on the water, it can be pleasantly cool. After sunset, it can cool quickly, especially early and late in the season. We have lap blankets. Conditions at sea are normally similar to the beach except a bit cooler & windier.
• Sunscreen – sunhat, sunglasses & whatever other sun protection you require is always good.
• Shoes – Soft-soled shoes are best for comfort and ease of walking around on the boat.
• Raincoat – can be useful, though most of the time we will work to avoid rain, and if need be, it is dry inside the boat.

We provide free cold bottle water. You can bring any drinks/food you wish including alcohol. We have a refrigerator to keep anything you wish cold. We also have bottle openers, glasses for your drinks and plates/bowls for your food.
